Casa Gitana
Proyecto Casa Gitana is a multi-functional on-site venue to bring internationals and locals together between festival events, support local and visiting artists, and provide a space of true social and cultural interaction in creative coexistence, where, the true protagonist, is the town of Gitana, Cuba.
The project proposes an organic, healthy lifestyle, in an atmosphere of respect, solidarity, tolerance and diversity. From fresh fruits to yoga and meditation classes, this is a home away from home.
It’s been named Cuba’s best kept secret! The small town of Gibara becomes a hot cultural hub as it hosts the International Film Festival, formerly known as Cine Pobre (Poor Cinema) recognizing the creativity and artistry of low-budget filmmakers. The festival involves live performances, art exhibits, and panels on film. Local artists, the people of Gibara, film stars, and fishermen alike are eagerly anticipating your arrival to share common interests, have dialogue, dance, and enjoy a cafecito together!
